Thoughtfully designed for clear sound

The RS6 Pro features a 1" Teteron® dome tweeter for crisp highs and a 6-1/2" TCC (talc, carbon and ceramic) injected polypropylene woofer for rich midrange and bass. Niles mounts the drivers closer behind the grille than most rock speaker manufacturers for more accurate sound with better imaging. And the tweeter is angled upwards 20º, so the high frequencies are aimed at the listener and not the ground.

Stands up to the elements like a lighthouse

The RS6 Pro is completely weatherproof — you can leave it outside fully exposed to whatever nature brings, worry-free. It has passed some of the most stringent environmental tests ever devised for outdoor speakers, including extensive Salt Fog and UV Exposure testing. Plus, it can handle extreme temperatures, from -50º to 185º Fahrenheit. You'll enjoy "rock"-solid sound for years to come.

Outdoor speakers let you move the party outside

Outdoor speakers are built tough -- they laugh at wind, rain and weather. Tuck a pair under your eaves and they'll pump out the tunes to keep everybody smiling and swaying at your next cookout or pool party. We also have some "rock" speakers that blend seamlessly into your landscaped lawn or garden.

Features

GeoRealistic Styling: The RS6 Pro's enclosure has unique
textures and colors to make it look like a natural rock. The speaker grilles are
designed so they blend into the cabinet. It is supplied with a security bracket/stake
and cable to insure it stays where you put it. The speaker is designed and built
to withstand the environmental stresses placed on an outdoor loudspeaker.

Weatherproof: The cabinet is made from fiberglass; it
utilizes double seals on the tweeter, woofer and enclosure cover. The drivers
are designed to drain water away from them and are made from weather resistant
material. The grilles are painted aluminum to stand up to the harsh outdoor
environment. The speaker has passed test requirements for salt fog, operating
temperature, storage temperature, UV exposure and humidity per military standard
883.

ConeForward Design: This design mounts the woofer and
tweeter as close to the grille as possible giving you excellent imaging from an
outdoor loudspeaker. The tweeter is angled 20° up from the woofer so
it is aimed at the listener and not at the ground. This improves the high
frequency coverage of the loudspeaker and ensures that all the benefits of the
tweeter are heard and not lost in the surroundings.

1" Tweeter: The RS6 Pro uses a 1" Teteron tweeter that utilizes a
tri-laminate design consisting of an inner textile layer which forms the dome, a
high damping layer to kill unwanted resonances and an outside layer of urethane
to add stiffness and prevent breakup modes. The result is a transparent clear,
natural sounding tweeter which still maintains its extended frequency response
and is completely weatherproof.

6.5" Woofer: The RS6 Pro uses a 6.5" TCC (talc, carbon, ceramic)
filled polypropylene woofer. The unusually stiff cone, the butyl rubber surround
and substantial magnet and motor structure are optimized for large excursions of
the woofer. The 6.5" woofer is designed to provide rich deep bass and
outstanding weather resistance capabilities.

Precision Crossover: A customized electronic dividing
network inside the cabinet precisely distributes the music to the woofer and the
tweeter. The three-pole, two-way design of the RS6 Pro crossover provides excellent
stereo imaging, low distortion and superior sonic performance.

Rigid Acoustically Inert Cabinet Construction: Niles
utilizes a unique 4-layer cabinet construction to achieve superior non-resonance
of the speaker cabinet. This insures that all your hear is the music and not
cabinet noise.

Grille: The aluminum Microperf grille on the RS6 Pro has
hundreds of precisely sized perforations, creating an acoustically transparent
grille. The aluminum construction resist oxidation enabling years of
trouble-free operation in the harshest of conditions. Niles paints both sides of
the grille for added protection.

Speaker Cable Connection: To make sure the speaker
connection is trouble-free, the RS6 Pro features a 2' connection cable rated
for burial underground and specialized waterproof wire nuts. The wire nuts are
filled with a waterproof sealant.

Wiring Requirements: 2-conductor direct burial cable is
recommended at the following sizes depending on the longest length of cable
required:

16 gauge: maximum distance of 60'

14 gauge: maximum distance of 100'

12 gauge: maximum distance of 160'

Power Rating: An amplifier rated at 10 to 150 watts is
recommended to power the RS6 Pro.

Niles RS6 Pro

The speakers sound great. They look exactly like rocks and the sound is amazing for an outdoor speaker. I haven't had them very long so Im not sure how the heat and humidity in Louisiana will affect them. So far they are a very nice addition to my backyard pool area

Pros:sound great and look great

Cons:I wish that they weren't exact mirror images on each other...meaning it would be nice if they looked different from each other. no two outdoor rocks are exactly the same. But overall Im very pleased

Nice full sound

I have owned several of these speakers over the years. Currently using three to cover a large outdoor entertaining area and around the pool & palapas. Plenty of sound and coverage. Clear even at low levels. Bass is a little light but to be expected with these speakers. They are connected to a dedicated Élan amp at 75 watts per channel via Niles volume controls. Have had two over seven years go out, but warranty and replacement has been very responsive. Significant plus for this equipment.

Niles rs6

Speakers sound really good ,bass is good ,I don't even have my good receiver connected yet and I'm happy with the sound ,it fills my yard ,I place speakers at the ends of my pool couldn't be happier ,oh I am very picky when it come to my sound systems ,

Pros:Looks great outdoors sound good and speakers are not even broken in yet

Look good sound good too

Only had these for a week now but they have lived through 3 very heavy rains and still work well. I have two at the end of our pool area (apx. 100x60) fills the space very well at moderate volume and will overwhelm the space if you crank it up.I power it with a Yamaha 1200 watt A/V amp. Carries base very well for a 6" speaker with clean mids and highs. Over all well worth it if they hold up over the years.

Quality outdoor sound

Bought two Niles RS6 Pro to replace some outdoor speakers that were just not getting the job done. Powered by a Pioneer SC55, with 5.1 inside, using the surround rear to power outdoor speakers on zone 2. The Niles provide a full sound, plenty of bass (removed a passive base that I was unimpressed with in the former configuration). These speakers deliver incredible sound to a large area (40 foot patio, 25 feet from house). Highly recommended.
